I haven’t written here in a while. I’ve been busy. The large number of projects I’ve been plowing through at work is winding down. I really only have three or four things I’m worrying about right now aside from the normal, day-to-day rat killing (thx. Alex for that phrase). The big news though is that there is life after Warcraft (though it is still a grind). Eight weeks ago I started an exercise program derived from the beginner section of www.exrx.net. It’s been going well and today I finished it. I need to figure out a more long-term program to complete the ultimate goal of getting my weight down to 180lbs (81.6kg). When I started this I was 215(97.5) and today I’m down to 208(94.3). That’s a little behind pace but I figure a pound of water weight isn’t much to worry about. Some highlights are:
- Max instantaneous output rowing – 632 watts
- Max Calories in 30 min rowing – 508
I need to do some work on the lifting before I post that information. It’s only been two months so I’m still making decent gains but it’s slowing down and I was never exactly strong to begin with. I actually need to buy two more 25lb plates to increase my deadlift weight but I also want to see about getting a squat rack as I’m limited in that by what I can lift over my head. Academy doesn’t have what I’m looking for in a rack though so I’ll have to go elsewhere.
